Welcome to Chapter Sass— the podcast where we deep dive into books that make you blush, gasp, and maybe even think a little. I’m your host, Season. I wanted to create a podcast where I talk about books and from different perspective. I want to cover main stream authors and non-mainstream authors. I want to cover books where the protagonist looks like me and some where they don’t. With every book, I will be joined with a new co-host with their own hot take.

From spicy romances to messy love triangles and all the glorious chaos...
